 Two TrueNAS (FreeNAS)  NAS system are setup for the purpose of data backup, including the resumed blog running on ESXi virtual machine, replaced the Buffalo lS-WXL and WdMycloud.

The benefit of FreeNAS:

  • Based on Freebsd OS, stable
  • Native support ZFS, and snapshot
  • Other professional feature ready

 

The blog data is backup into the 1st FreeNAS, manually after updating the blog.

The 1st FreeNas will generate a snapshot every day, thanks to the Periodic Snapshot Task provided by FreeNAS system, and them replicate the snapshot to the 2nd FreeNas machine, also thanks to the Replication Task of freeNas system.

 

Hardware spec of 1st NAS:

  1. HP T610 plus thin client  ( AMD (G-T56N) 1.65GHz dual core / E350 )
  2. 16GB DDR3  (2 X 8GB)
  3. 32GB Flash driver  for FreeNAS system + 4TB 3.5 HD for data
  4. 10/100/1000  Ethernet

 

    Cost: without Data Disk:

             AMD T610 Plus                               RMB 185
             Power：19V4.74  7.4*5.0mm         RMB 30
             SATA2 32G SSD                            RMB 45
             DDR3L 8G/1600  X2                       RMB 398

                 Total                                            RMB 658      

 

 

Hardware spec of 2st NAS:

  1. HP Z220 MT workstation
  2. 32GB DRR3 ECC RAM
  3. Intel G3250T CPU
  4. One USB key for FreeNAS system + 10T HD for data

 

The Raid sub-system is not a best choice.

As Home User, we don’t care about the data lost, or data server down in a short period of time.  That’s way we two NAS system / Data replication instead of raid sub-system.
